Artificial intelligence-augmented small bowel capsule endoscopy for coeliac disease: a literature review on accuracy, workflow, and safety

Key Points

• AI-augmented small bowel capsule endoscopy improves efficiency and consistency for coeliac disease detection, enhancing patient outcomes and monitoring.
• Safety protocols, particularly patency testing, are critical to mitigate retention risk during SBCE procedures in coeliac disease.
• The literature review highlights the importance of calibrated thresholds for serology-negative presentations in diverse populations, enhancing overall diagnostic equity.
• Implementation may require a human-in-the-loop approach, balancing automation benefits with essential safety measures.
